In episode 2, Annie and Jerry discuss the Cape Town cleanse, swag looting in First Class, and the drunk dialing on Phenergan. Despite facing health issues during the trip and not being able to fully explore the art scene as planned, Jerry shares anecdotes about her experiences, including some of the incredible galleries and art works she encountered while in Cape Town.
Jerry and Annie also address an important issue in the art world regarding the fair treatment and timely payment of artists. Upon hearing her (formerly) favorite Cape Town galleries has a reputation for stiffing their artists, the gals discuss the mechanisms that put artists in a vulnerable position to get stiffed by galleries and reflect on the need for proper contracts and legal protection for artists before exhibition sales.
Additionally, the ladies touch on the controversy surrounding luxury retailer Hermes and their alleged practice of reserving Birkin bags for high-spending customers comparing and contrasting the Art Market to the luxury retail market.
And finally, Jerry takes the opportunity to rip apart Art Speak, again, and Annie talks about the "out of touch" Whitney Biennial currently on view in New York.

In this episode of Art Smack, Jerry Gogosian and her new co-host Annie Taylor kick off season two with a lively and somewhat chaotic introduction, setting the tone for an episode filled with personal anecdotes, insights into the art world, and a candid discussion about the intersections of art, business, and ethics. Annie brings a rich background in art history and business from her studies in Louisiana, experiences working at an auction house and Art Basel's satellite fair, and her current role in Fine Art Logistics.
As the episode unfolds, does a play-by-play of Frieze Los Angeles, Felix, and all of the parties surrounding last week's celebrations. Annie and Jerry also delve into more serious topics, including the departure of the previous co-host Matthew, who left the art world to pursue more lucrative endeavors, ahem, finance. This episode also introduces our transition adding a video component to the podcast & adding new levels of awkward to the podcast :) The discussion takes a deeper dive into the challenges and pressures of pursuing an MBA, with Jerry sharing personal struggles and revelations about sunk costs, risk aversion, and the stark realities of legal and ethical business boundaries compared to the art world's more fluid norms. This episode's narrative weaves through tales of personal growth, a surprising opportunity with United Talent Agency, and a commitment to making strategic financial decisions as an artist. The episode encapsulates a the blending of art and commerce, and the importance of embracing change and opportunity without losing sight of one's roots and values in the art community.

In this episode, Jerry and Matt are joined by Chicago-based contemporary artist Caleb Yono.
In this conversation, we explore Caleb's prolific work, story, and experiences navigating her career as a gender queer artist: experiences that are often overlooked in the traditional Art World, a place that still seems to uphold outdated values when it comes to the treatment of our trans and gender queer colleagues.
This conversation was as inspiring as it was hard to hear at times, but must be heard. We were honored by Caleb’s candor, and we hope that not only will you give this episode a listen, but that you’ll also take the time to explore her incredibly abundant work as an artist.

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Aindrea Emelife, an art critic, independent curator, gallerist, and BBC television presenter from London. Aindrea is an incredibly inspiring and uplifting person to speak with as she has already accomplished so much in such a short timespan. She's young...but I won't say how young! Her most recent article in The Independent ‘There is a lot of hard work to be done’: How the art world can step up for Black Lives Matter is an insightful vision of how to make out our near future as the art world further contends with the issue of race and inequality.
With a background in art history and specializations in the medieval periods of European art history as well as Surrealism...Plagues plus lucid dreaming? Sounds like 2020 to me. She offered a lot of insight into how we can rethink this moment and use it for actual systemic change.
I hope you enjoy our conversation. Please send me a voice memo at anchor.fm and tell me what your thoughts on the episode.

Hello internet, it's Jerry Gogosian. I hope you and your family are doing well in these troubling times. It's been a while since I last released an episode of the podcast. Like many of you, life got real real and I have had to really focus on the brass and tacks for a while. However, during all of this, I’ve had the privilege of reflection. Time to finally start absorbing the reality of where we’ve come to as a species, as a culture, as a community of art lovers, as an industry… The inevitability of change is here and its time to start deciding what we want to do about it. (This is a longer conversation meant for another time.) But, I'm good. There will be several more podcast releases in the coming weeks so you have that to look forward to.*
For this episode, I decided to speak with the artist Kenturah Davis about her paintings and her practice's relationship liminality, language, and how textiles manage to weave their way into the history of human communication. It was truly a pleasure and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
But before we get started, I wanted to announce that after much searching for a quality Zoe + Chloe, I think I’ve found him. That's right. His name is Gunner Dongieux. I decided to record our interview to get your opinion. What do you think? Is he a good hire? Is he a Zoe or a Chloe?

Enjoy the episode. Don’t worry about the quality of the recording. It's about the conversation.

Today I picked up the phone and called my long time friend, the artist Chris Udemezue. I met Chris in 2009 while he was on vacation in San Francisco shortly after he graduated from the New School. Chris is the REAL DEAL. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth or a guaranteed path to success. He's found a way to survive and thrive as an artist by making his own place in the art world. He's equal parts talented and resourceful which is the magic. Since I've known him, Chris has always been 100% himself. He put it all out there to hang out and in turn, success followed Chris...Not the other way around. My admiration for this human being is beyond words, so enjoy our phone call today and remember; its the quality of conversation, not the quality of the audio recording. This is AM art radio!
Born in Long Island, NY Christopher Udemezue has shown at a variety of galleries and museums, including the New Museum, Queens Museum of Art, PS1 MoMa, Bruce High Quality Foundation, and Envoy Enterprises. Udemezue recently has utilized his Jamaican heritage and the complexities of desire for connection, tragedy through personal mythology and public lynching as a primary source. As the founder of the platform RAGGA NYC & CONNEK JA, he completed a residency with the New Museum "All The Threatened and Delicious Things Joining One Another" in June 2017. Also being the lead organizing member of the art collective House of Ladosha, Christopher has shown recently in the New Museum’s “Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon” 40 year anniversary show and he was apart of the chosen artists in The Shed's Open Call grant program/ show that was on show in the new Hudson Yards Shed gallery, NYC in June 2019.

I didn’t even record an intro for this interview. This conversation was so inspiring that I can’t even speak. Helen Molesworth just took me on a ride and we landed at hope. I highly suggest you give this a listen.

A few days ago I put out a story on my Instagram asking to speak to people in the art from Milan and the immediate response was intense! As we know through the media, Italy has placed up to 16 million people under quarantine as it battles to contain the spread of coronavirus. I had the privilege to speak on the phone with Gianmaria Biancuzzi (Milan Art Guide), Flavio Delmonte (Gallerie Massimo De Carlo), & Cordelia Noe (The Art Gorgeous.) They provided me with a glimpse into the future through the lease of Corona’s geographic spread from where I sit in Los Angeles. It was so kind of them to share their perspective, experience, strength, and hope as the tolls of the global pandemic mount. (Thank you guys for coming on the show.) (Thank you for listening!)
Just wanted to tell you guys that I'm getting less shy talking to myself alone in my bedroom. Pretty soon I'll be an expert and talking to myself, but in the meantime bear with me. Again, this AM art radio. Don’t get excited about the quality. Just focus on the message. Thanks for listening.

"...at the end of the day, we serve our artists." EKV of VSF
Esther Kim Varet, THIS lady – is one of the hardest working people you’ll find anywhere in the art world. It’s true. As the owner of Various Small Fires (VSF), she arrives to work every single day with one fundamental goal: to promote and protect her artists with the sharp team of people she has built to make it all happen. She's progressive, she's brave, and she's responsible.
Esther is making decisions in realtime to determine how to deal with the threat of COVID-19 as its effects ripple out. It has already impacted the lives and business of most people reading this. Her protective and wise measures for her gallery are worth paying attention to and reproducing where applicable. There are digital, virtual, and analog solutions to consider in all of this. To learn about VSF's "touch-free viewing experience" please click HERE.
*Remember this is live AM radio, folks! These conversations are unscripted and unedited. This is how people are coping today, which means tomorrow it may look different! The guests I've had on are refreshing and brave to speak in such a vulnerable moment. I am releasing these conversations one by one and my goal is to connect you with voices that vary. My only rule, be real, be honest.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Various Small Fires (VSF) is a gallery owned and operated by Esther Kim Varet established in 2012 with locations in Los Angeles, California and Seoul, South Korea. The Seoul gallery opened last spring with a collaborative two-person exhibition of new works by California legends and longtime friends Billy Al Bengston and Ed Ruscha. VSF borrows its name from Ed Ruscha’s original self-published book Various Small Fires and Milk.
In its short exhibition history, VSF has presented the Los Angeles and Asia debuts of many internationally recognized emerging, mid, and late career artists like Liz Magic Laser, Math Bass, Julie Curtiss, Robin F. Williams, Jesper Just, and Diedrick Brackens.
VSF takes social responsibility seriously. The majority of their represented artists are women. The gallery uses 100% solar energy to operate its exhibition spaces and goes to great lengths to reduce their carbon footprint and eliminate plastic by-products.
VSF is also one of the few commercial venues to have a dedicated outdoor gallery for large-scale sculpture and installation. In April 2019, VSF opened a second location in the Hannam-dong neighborhood of Seoul, South Korea. This new ground-floor storefront added an additional 1,000 sq-ft (93 sq-m) of exhibition space in Asia.
